Showing without seeing
When Kadiatou Diakite closes her eyes, it’s as if a light switch turns on. When she opens them, it turns off. Diakite has been blind since birth. For her, seeing has nothing to do with vision. She sees through touch,…

The engineering question is workflow fit, not a universal quality score When evaluating an AI media tool, it is tempting to reduce the result to a single question: did the generation work? That question is useful, but it leaves out…
I wanted UI that looks printed. 🖨️ A dither turns a smooth tone into a pattern of ink and paper dots, and I built a small library that does it for Compose Multiplatform: Stipple. It runs on Android, iOS, desktop and…
A working doc I keep while remaking TikTok AI trends with one photo. Each row is a trend I've actually run, what kind of photo works for it, and the mistake I see most often. TrendWhat it isPhoto that worksCommon…

When people add a lossless PNG optimizer to an asset pipeline, the argument is usually about which tool to use. I think the more useful question is where in the pipeline it sits, because one of the orderings I tried…
When you chain two PNG tools, the usual question is which one saves more. The question I care about more is whether I can see, per step, how many bytes and how many seconds each step cost, so a build…
Start with the first icon in the set, 40,369 bytes. pngquant at quality 65–80 got it to 7,600 and exited with 0. The extra step is one command, oxipng -o 4 --strip safe on a copy of the pngquant output, and it took the file…
For a practical scenario, imagine needing to prepare marketing graphics. You might require quick, iterative changes where you ask for variations of a single concept. Test whether the platform requires you to start over for each variation or if it…
